This unit is about radiation from the Sun. It will be taught to 6th grade science students. Students will be learning about heat transfer and what life would be like on Earth without the Sun. At the end of the unit students will be making solar cookers and utilizing the Sun's rays to cook hot dogs. My curriculum framing questions are as follows: Essential question: How do Earth's processes support life? Unit questions: How is heat transferred?
How does radiation affect us on Earth?
Why is it important to understand heat transfer? Content questions: Where does radiation come from?
How does ultra-violet light affect humans?
